South Street, HASSOCKS, BN6 8UQ

South Street in the village of Ditchling, in East Sussex.

The B2112 heads south towards Brighton, originally via Ditchling Beacon then from 1820 via Clayton. The ivy covered house near the centre was the former home of Sir Frank Brangwyn, artist and etcher. The parked cars on this street can often cause tailbacks though does provide a good method of slowing traffic down as it travels through the village.

This former mission hall, opened in the early 20th century, is one of three extant non-Anglican places of worship in Ditchling.

The village of Ditchling lies in the South Downs National Park. The South Downs ridge is visible in the distance.

Goldsmiths and jewellers occupying the shop on the south east corner of Ditchling crossroads. The building actually contains three shops including Pruden & Smith, another to its left on Lewes Road which I neglected to remember and the pharmacy to the right in South Street. The building dates from the 1870s and was built on the site of the former Ditchling & Westmeston Parish Workhouse which closed its doors in 1873. To the left is Tudor Close one of the oldest buildings in Ditchling being a timber framed hall house refronted with brick and tile hanging dating back to the late 15th century.

The centre of Ditchling is a busy crossroads and it is often difficult to take photographs without cars getting in the way. This is on the corner of South Street and West Street.
